getting a bit weird?by the lack of any reaction from anyone except a few looks its pretty common over there… just another lepricon that wished itself bigger and then became a drunk…
Well it is obviously some sort of festival or another. In fact, judging by the trad music and flags everywhere I say it’s Paddy’s day…but on the other hand it looks to sunny to be march…
Seems like some kind of festival with all the street music and the ladys dancing. He may just be a clever person attending the festival or an entertainer paid to walk around and give people something to laugh at. He may even be a mascot if it’s a guiness festival, lol.
Considering the damn thing is called “Arthur” I’d say it’s Arthurs day. A new holiday over here celebrating Arthur Guiness who (you guessed it) founded Guiness!
Come on, this is horrible. Guinness in one hand and a bottle in the other, staggering about, it is obviously BOTH drunk AND ethnically offensive (since “Irish” isn’t a “race”); this is like having a black-man puppet stumble around with watermelon and fried chicken.
Mar sin, áit a bhfuil tú? And since when are we a “race”? Last time I checked we qualify as Western Caucasians. And while we’re at the topic – unless you have an Irish passport you’re not Irish. Not “quarter”, not “half”, not “one eight”. Irish is Irish, and Irish aren’t tossers that scream “racism” when someone insinuates that a fecking puppeteer at a fecking festival might be drunk.
Thanks H. H., for playing P. C. Police. I’m not Irish (at times like this I’m proud to be Australian) but I’ve been there and drank quite a lot with a number of locals. I lived in London where a lot of my Irish neighbours liked nothing more than to start the day with a 10% alcohol lager for breakfast…….. P.D. knows that while a number of Irish people do drink, a number of others will find this amusing, hence the character. Pull yer head in, mate!!
The reason everyone doesn’t really react is because puppets are commonplace in Irish festivals. This guy was obviously having fun and acting the maggot, as is the character he’s playing. We rip the piss out of ourselves, nevermind everyone else.
How do I know this? I’m Irish (living in Ireland) myself : p
anyone else notice the kid at about 2:03 trying to get away from his dad to try and kick the giants ass for hitting his dads head with the big bottle in his hand? his dad held him back.
I’m rather surprised to see that no one has yet said “a person inside a suit is not a puppet.” what with the internet being rife with pedantry and all.

KILL IT!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!

I’m trying to figure out how the puppet works… it’s not a marionette right? But the legs are too big to have a person inside there. Hmmmmm
Oh, duh. Guy on stilts. Seems obvious now!
Yeah, took me a minute there to realize it too
Of course this being in Ireland, it isn’t just a puppet but rather a DRUNK puppet…
Keep your racist remarks out of it P.D…. Unless you are actually Irish, you have no idea.
C’mon now, where’s the famous Irish sense of humour?
It doesn’t exist, like most of the other stereotypes.
Just kidding!
That’s racist! Not all Irish have a sense of humour.
And not all humourists have a sense of the Irish.
Irish are not a separate race in themselves, H.H.. They constitute a culture.
drunken Irish puppet+social commentary=who the f**k cares, its a cool puppet
But… even its not Ireland, it IS a drunk puppet… this argument makes zero sense.
Well, i figured all of that liquor must’ve changed you guys somehow.
Oh, aye, it did. Irish have notoriously strong livers as compared to a Frenchman or Brit.

He is correct though. As I am Welsh/Scots/Irish I certainly have some idea.

that thing is creepy as hell. If I saw it real life I’d flee screaming and waving my arms thusly: \*o*/
Hahaha me too! I’d s#!t myself!
The 3 old guys at the end of the video are like ”WTF, even WE can be better old drunks than him!”
It looks like no one is really bothered by the fact that a drunken giant is just wandering around Ireland
Ara no, sure it’s just an average Sunday to us.
This.
‘Tis true, actually.
I’m Irish… and this is funny as squirtle (wanna see the pokemon thing)
H.H. appreciate the backing up and all that but seriously. Chill.
Lol. Gneel…. you just lived beside a loada alcos. Bad luck.
I’m Irish and this is funny as crap!
WTF is wrong with this giant’s head? I can see on top there is some kind of excess growth on his head top like he has a tumor or something.
Just wanted to test the snorlax fearow pikachu clefairy charmandersucker motherflygon pokemon swear-verter
Hmm.. Swears get Pokemoned? They don’t even show up!
Holy snorlax! You are damned right!
Gotta love Oirlund.

Stereotypes much? Racist pikachu…..
Irish isn’t a race! You retarded (untrag!
Calm down Paddy. Go have a potato or something
He should stand still like a statue and then suddenly move… that would scare the shot out of some drunken people.
hahahah! thats so weird.. im irish and i didnt even hear about this! xD

Hagrid has really let himself go.
anyone else notice the kid at about 2:03 trying to get away from his dad to try and kick the giants ass for hitting his dads head with the big bottle in his hand? his dad held him back.

Sexiest Mother fearowin puppet alive. omfg i think im in love
It’s Saint Patrick’s Day. Obviously not in Dublin. Probably in a smaller town in the country. LOL us Irish are so mad, nuthin surprises us.
It’s An Droim Mór Thiar (Dromor), home of Yeats. You can see it around 2:14 on a street sign.
Is it Eamonn Dunphy?
id say it is !!!!! sure , doesnt it look like him!
Nah, he’d be kicking a ball if it was Ó Donnchaidh.
that looks a lot like sligo! as a drunken irish college student ..this is quite bland
Aye, it’s Sligo (see the street sign, it’s Dromore)
That little girl runs away playfully and laghs but if I were her I would run away screaming!
I’m an irish giant, and i’m drunk most of the time. Those comments
Arent offensive!! By the way, sligo sucks ass….
